Hello Everyone.

I apologize for my not writing. Life just got ahold of me and wouldn’t let go. I’m feeling better now though and things are starting to turn for the better. Thank goodness.

I just watched Susan Boyle from Britain’s Got Talent. Is she not a total Earth Angel? Certain people are just meant to come down and change the world and say “snap out of it” to us aren’t they. I believe this wonderful woman is one of them.

If you haven’t seen Susan yet click here.

I kind of felt sorry for the young girl rolling her eyes before Susan starting singing. She will be forever disgraced in her judgment I’m thinking. Again lessons for all.

What a wonderful world we live in that these shows exist because otherwise how could Susan have shared her gifts with all of us.

Ask yourself, what are your gifts that you have been hiding from the world. Find them and sing your praise.

Hello my Friends out there in Blogland. How are you today?

Now you might be thinking I’m going to chat here about the winning at the casino I had the other day of Two Thousand Bucks! You got it. I did have the Midas Touch that day but no this is about Daisy, my little car.

I was going to work on Monday and I heard this weird sound. It was like the underneath of my car was dragging. It started out kind of swooshy like when I hit a bump so I thought it was something “in” Daisy but by the time I got a few miles away I knew this wasn’t something in the car. Something was dragging.

I went home instead of work. When I looked underneath there seemed to be this little steel thingy hanging down. It reminded me of the car version of that little thing in your throat that hangs down. The throat thing has a name. A big name. I’ll ask my husband as he had to get his out as painful as that sounds.

So, my husband gets home and says, oh it’s nothing, you don’t even need that part and he attempted to cut it off with steel cutters and not being able to do that bent and tucked it up under something. The whole time I had my mouth open in horror and I’m thinking this doesn’t feel good. With nothing being open for Family Day it was the best offer I had at the moment.

Now I could have got up at 3:30 am and taken my husband’s car, Martin, but I didn’t and I drove to work just fine. No swooshing.

It was when I was half way home when it started. It sounded like I was dragging a bicycle under my car. I was so embarrassed. It was ok when I was going fast but when I was slowing down it was bad.

I had to run home first to let the dogs out and then I drove back to Midas at 460 Taunton Road in Oshawa. I picked Midas because the phone number had 555 in it and that’s one of my favorite numbers. The life of a psychic.

The whole time I’m thinking geez how much is this going to cost. I was kind of holding my breath on this one.

I said to Ms. Tammy (who by the way is just the perfect lady for the job there. You know she’s got things under control) don’t be doing any work until you tell me how much. She’s like no worries sign here which always makes me nervous.

So they take Daisy into the bay and she’s in there for a brief few minutes and then he brings her out. I’m thinking oh no it was really bad and they can’t fix it. My mind was going a little bonkers and the guy comes in and hands me the keys. I’m like what is it? He’s like it’s nothing we took it off. It’s a heat sensor (I think that’s what he said) that is only used in hot climates like California and isn’t really needed here in Canada.

I’m kind of there thinking how much as they didn’t discuss it and he looks and smiles and says $500. I laughed nervously but still didn’t quite get it. Then when I went to see Tammy for the real bill she said no charge. Enjoy.

How cool is that? I went to Midas and they fixed my car and I didn’t get charged.

I love Midas now. I’m going to go there for all my oil changes as they aren’t really that friendly at my other place and they kind of make me nervous like they are doing something they shouldn’t. You know charging for special oil when you real might not be getting that extra special oil.

God Bless Midas, Tammy and the Gang.

P.S. Now I kind of have the urge to drive to California for some reason.

Hello Dear Blog Friends. I apologize for not writing. The energy has been somewhat heavy for some reason and I’ve been feeling a bit murky. I hope everyone is doing great and not feeling this heavy energy that seems to be about.

I had to tell you about my new present that my husband bought me for our anniversary. He bought me a GPS.

I think the gift is somewhat for him as he is a little sick of having me call every time I go out saying “I can’t find it”. I find at night that I can’t see the numbers on houses and just get disoriented and nervous. Now I am happy.

I named my little GPS “Maggie” as it is a Magellan and I thought it went together. She is kind of like having a friend in the car when you are alone and she has saved my butt a few times already. The hard part is trusting her. Do I go with where I think I should go or go where Maggie is telling me to go. I have to learn to trust.

We can learn a lot about life if we apply the same lessons of a GPS. I’ve decided to do just that. I’m going to put my order in to the universe, let go and listen and see where it takes me trusting each step that it is the right way.

I love it when she says “You Have Arrived”. How positive is that? You have arrived at your designated point in life.

I also notice it shows all the banks and there are little money symbols. I use it to visualize my money affirmations when I see it. A money miracle happens to me Today!

I love it. Such a nice gift. My husband is the best.

Hello Dear Friends.  How are you all making out in Mercury in Retrograde. It’s been a strange one that’s for sure.

My dear husband bought me a present yesterday. A tickle me Elmo. It is just so cute. Every time I see one when we are out I have to touch its foot to get it to say “Elmo Loves You”. Then I laugh hysterically.

I came home and it was on the table. My husband is such a sweet man.

It took forever to get out of its packaging but when it started doing its thing it was such fun. If you put in down sideways it says something about helping Elmo up and then when he’s upright he says that you are Elmo’s best friend.

I have no idea how it works.

I know what you are thinking, she’s a grown woman. Ha that’s where I got you. I can be as young as I want. If Tickle Me Elmo puts a smile on my face, why not.

Do something that makes you smile and just blame me and say if Sharon can make a fool of herself I can too.

Hello Dear Friends.

I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

I received the following from Angela a writer friend of mine and I thought I would share it with you as it is brilliant in that it made me and I’m sure others who read it a chance to remember to be grateful. She said I could share it with you. Enjoy.

“As another exciting year comes to its end, people tend to sit back in disbelief that it’s already over.  I’m surprised how each year speeds by faster than the last. This year was full of joy for me and I thank my lucky stars.  I’m sad to see the end draw near but I’m overwhelmed by the excitement 2009 will bring.

I am thankful to 2008 for the following: 1) I remain healthy; 2) I am blissfully in love with a man that consistently exceeds all of my expectations; 3) I was given a great opportunity to continue expanding my career experience; 4) I have met a lot of new people whom have enriched my life in ways that I never expected; 5) September 6, 2008, Mark asked me to marry him; 6) My family and friends have all learned from and enjoyed the 2008 year, even with it’s ups and downs and twists and turns; 7) I continue to love in ways that are so easy, yet often overlooked; 8 ) I have found my passion for writing again which was lost for a brief time; and 9) each and everyday I wake up and choose to remain happy.  Looking back on the year and acknowledging your fortunes is a great way to prepare for the upcoming year.  Appreciating your time and experiences takes only a moment but leaves a lasting happiness to carry you through the holidays.

While visualizing the upcoming year, the power of positive thinking can bring so much to your life.  As easy as it is to get lost in the chaos of life, it’s just as easy to get lost in the beauty of it.  If you could elect one environment over the other, wouldn’t you prefer beauty?  I know I would…and I do.  I know I am fortunate for so many things and I try to never lose sight of that.  To help me focus on the beauty of life, I reflect on all the gifts my journey has provided to me and I look forward to the gifts that will be coming my way.  2009 will be filled with happiness because that is what I believe.  Thinking positively allows me the courage to be confident with each new day because I believe everything will work out and everything happens for a reason.

In 2009, I hope for: 1) passionate loving companionship; 2) health and fitness; 3) ease of financial burdens; 4) confidence and respect; and 5) laughter.  I know 2009 will provide these to me, because it’s within my control to find them all.  We are responsible for our lessons and our lives; even though at times we feel lost. It’s natural to feel you’ve lost your way but trying to find your way back may be one of your greatest lessons.

To find happiness you must find yourself.  I’m lucky enough to have found myself at the same place I found my love, Mark.  Where were you found?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!”

Blessings to you at this time for a wonderful Christmas time.

Welcome to the TBC Blog this Remembrance Day.

I always find November 11th such a powerful day and reflect throughout the day things I am grateful for and send out lots of prayers and blessings to our soldiers and their families. I pray for Peace God Willing.

My Friend, Cynthia, wrote a great blog for Remembrance Day. See it here.

A writer Friend of mine, Angela, is the TBC Bloggee today and wrote the following:

“364 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes of each year we hope for life’s little luxuries…and we are asked to only give 1 minute of our time back in remembrance.  That seems like a small price to pay?!?! Only 1 minute of 1 day out of 1 whole year; while members of our armed forces risk lifetime after lifetime to fight the battles of our world.  Today, serves as a reminder to remember the lives lost, the freedoms gained and the memories we have in honour of our Veterans and Soldiers.

Remembrance Day also reminds me of something very profound and something that is often taken for granted; how little is expected of the general population when it comes to our Country’s protection. We all go on living day by day complaining about the weather or our TV show being a rerun, when at the same time as we lay our heads to rest, another head ponders what tomorrow will bring at war, or whether their spouse will ever return or whether their son is sleeping safely tonight.  This year, I will be sure to reflect and appreciate more frequently because that is honestly the least I could do. Take today to be mindful for what you have and what you have lost.  I think of my family in the armed forces and their “family away from home” with whom they live and fight each day. I appreciate and am humbled by their dedication and devotion.

Thank you for life as I know it, I try not to take my gift for granted.”

Our quote today comes from Bobby who shares his favorite bible passage for Remembrance Day.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”  John 15:13

Until we Meet Again, Sharon.

Hi Everyone.

I hope this blogs finds you all well and happy. I apologize for the tardiness in my writing.

I was thinking today about how sometimes life is really good and you don’t really know it when you are in it but then when you think back to it you think “wow”.

When I was in public school (up to grade 6) I had a wonderful friend. Her name was Nancy and she had some cool french last name that I can’t spell. I was thinking of her today and I was thinking how much fun she was to be around. Well I’m hoping she was and it wasn’t just the fringe benefits in her Dad. Well not him personally but what he did for a living.

Back way when we didn’t have as many things or as many treats like they do now that’s for sure. I remember my sister when I was young giving me such a hard time as she said that I was treated better and received anything I wanted (I was the youngest)  but I don’t remember it to be like that. My sister’s line was “All I ever got was a lime (and she stressed the word like “LIIIIMMMMMEEEE“) green ski jacket”. If it were today we both would want one.  I totally love my sister so don’t get me wrong. This is just old funny stuff I remember.

Back to Nancy. So picture this. Nancy’s dad worked for a gumball company that filled those machines. You would go in her basement and there would be hundreds of open huge boxes of gumballs. Every colour and shape imaginable.  Each bag had a plastic bag in it that wrapped around the box. It was a bit creepy downstairs but let’s see “creepy” vs.  “gumballs”, I’ll take the gumballs.

I don’t remember playing with her much at “my” house. Not sure how I always got her to allow me to go there and I wonder if she ever felt used. It reminded me again of the first boy I fell in love with. I think his last name was Fortune. That’s one happening last name. “Sharon Fortune”  I’d like that. Maybe I’ll change my name.

You have to wonder what happened to all the people from the past. Maybe one day I’ll try and find Nancy on Facebook and we can chat again. Hey maybe even Nancy works for the gumball place now and her house has a basement full of candy!

Here’s my quote for today:

Hello my Friends. Welcome.

This blog is a little bit of a reflective one.

I met someone a couple of weeks ago and she has touched me yet I didn’t really even know her.

I went to a get together at Arianna’s in Oshawa and I had my pink roots purse. When I walked in Irene said to a lady at her shop “Check out Sharon’s purse”. This woman’s name was Pat. I talked to her briefly, had a chuckle with her and then spoke to her again at the end of the night when she was buying her own pink purse. Her energy was lovely and she was very kind.

Last Thursday when I went to Psychic Night I found out that this lovely lady Pat had passed over in a car accident a few days after we met. A drunk driver.

Even though I didn’t really know her I have felt this overwhelming sense of loss.

I have since read in the newspaper that she was an amazing woman. She spent her life dedicated to making the world a better place. A teacher, a Mother, a Green Party member, the list went on and on. What will the world be like when we have lost someone so special?

Here’s a quote for you.

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.”  ~From a headstone in Ireland

God Bless you Pat and to your Family and Friends my Heartfelt Sympathy.

Hello my Friends.

I realize that two blogs below I was a little cranky and negative and I just want to say that the world always needs balance. Hence the title of this blog.

Just as there are people that bring pain into our lives there are also people that are complete Angels.

Marci is one of those Angels I’m talking about.

I work (oh did work) with my Friend Marci.

I did a reading for her and I wasn’t expecting anything in return and she designed and made the most beautiful knitted shawl for me. It’s just totally me and I was just so surprised and humbled by her doing this.

Here is a picture of Marci wearing my beautiful shawl she made.

She even looks Angelic doesn’t she?

Marci is one of those people that you just know “has your back”. I loved her the moment I saw her. Such a sweetie and she is a good friend.

Thanks Marci for being you. The world is a better place because you are in it.

A quote for all:

“A real friend is like an Angel who warms you by her presence and remembers you in her prayers.” (I can’t find the author here for you.)
